Porsche 911 Targa Turbo going to Geneva

The German based automaker Porsche is planning to introduce the new 911 Targa Turbo next week, during the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, in a world premiere.

The brand new Porsche 911 Targa will be receiving a Turbo version which will be officially presented to the public during the 2014 Geneva Motor Show. The announcement hasn’t been made official by the company just yet and it’s part of a report published by the guys at Jalopnik. According to our source, the more powerful version of the recently unveiled 911 Targa should be enough to become a huge hit among the company’s fans.

The Porsche 911 Targa Turbo is expected to get the same engine as the standard Turbo, which basically means a 3.8 liter six-cylinder unit, with direct petrol injection, which is rated at 520 HP and it has a peak torque of 660 Nm. The 911 Turbo (991), equipped with this engine, can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and reach a top speed of 315 km/h. With the optional Sport Chrono Package, the 911 Turbo can accelerate 0.2 seconds faster. More details on what the 911 Targa Turbo may be like are limited for the moment and will be announced during the Swiss automotive event.
